Questions to ask when buying a mangal sutra: 

1.Do you customise designs? 

There are a lot of changes a bride can have and want in a mangal sutra. From changing the colour of the beads to the metal you want it in, jewellers do offer customisation, but it is better if you confirm the time, cost, any hidden charges etc. before finalising anything. 

2. How much time does a custom design take?

The time totally depends upon the changes you have asked for. If you have focused on minor details then it might take some time.

3. Will a custom design cost more than a ready made one?

Yes, some jewellers can charge more for a custom piece, as they have to get everything done according to your needs. Which can impact the final product price. 

4. What are the common chain length options for a mangal sutra?

Most brides go for 16” chain length, but it totally depends on the person. You can also have a length of 18”, 22” or 24”.
